I feel like I'm trapped and no one can help me! ):?

I have had my first panic attack at the end of last year. And that led to my constant reminder to myself of that incident and the possibility that it might occur again. Sometimes, the thought of this itself would induce a panic attack. At other times, i always feel like i can't breathe enough or my body "forgets to breathe" for a moment. My mind then recalls the first panic attack i had (when i had shortness of breath and felt like i couldn't breathe properly). This has been happening for quite some time now, every now and then, in fact, every day. Yesterday, I had a really bad panic attack. I started to feel like i don't have enough air. And then the thought of possible death led to the panic attack. I'm really scared and paranoid. I don't want to die and i want to be well again, just like anyone else. Help! ):

OH Sweetie....You need to go to your doctor and get some help... I am the queen of anxiety attacks. well, I used to be. I thought I was going CRAZY!! YOu need some Xanax for immediate relief of your attacks. Also you need to find out the cause of your attacks... what are you afraid of? Besides having another one? STRESS? YOu need to get on something. I have general anxiety disorder. But you have full blown panic aattacks. when you feel like U cant breath, get a paper bag and breath into that. u are hyperventilating. this will help you feel better. Tell your doctor how u have been feeling and he will prescribe what is appropriate for you . and please take it. It'll take about 2 weeks for you to feel better. dont stop taking it because you feel dizzy or lightheaded. this will go away. This is the medicine working in your brain . That feeling will go away. you will feel so much better. Also it helps to talk to someone. A professional of sorts. Get to the root of the problem. Please go. Make an appointment ASAP!

a panic attack will not kill you.even if you pass out, your body will continue to breath, it's an automatic thing. Focusing on your symptoms is doing you more harm than good..you need to focus on relaxing and breathing deeply until the attack passes, and they do always pass. panic is caused by a release of adrenaline into the body.adrenaline is a very short acting hormone and goes away within 15 minutes. So stop perpetuating your symptoms and learn to relax thru them.
There are also medications available to you to help with this, see your doctor, and also ask him for referral to a class for phobia and anxiety...there you can learn other skills for controlling your symptoms.

I have anxiety attacks. One time they were so bad that I didn't leave my house for two months. You need to get on the proper medication. That is the only thing that helped me. I still have them periodically but not very often. I promise, there is help out there and you can be "normal" again. You just need to go to the Dr and get help. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!

hey sweetie just relax! to start if you feel a panic attack comming on just sit down and think of something relaxing or watching your favorite show on tv..if you find that these panic attacks are causing you to have trouble breathing and you can't breathe when your having a panic attak talk to your doctor about getting a inhaler...i use to use combviend and it helped a lot, another inhaler to try is advair...your panic attaks could be trigered by asthma attaks..so if you eliminate the trouble of breathing then maybe your panic attacks will get better...good luck

There is no help for this condition except for drinking alcohol. I used to have panic attacks on a daily basis. When I started drinking whiskey all the problems went away and I was very relaxed all of the time. Street drugs can help with the problem too and I would suggest you find a supplier and get started doing all you can ingest. The kiddy drug "cheese" that is so popular nowadays is a good way to start. It is cheap and readily available almost everywhere. You need to find an escape from your fears. Trust me, drugs and alcohol is the very best way to fix the problem.
